'I wasn't born for this. I built myself for this' thank you powerful tiger tryout man, thats some positivity!

[@rohanshinde4135]

Give that guy a medal who was cheering up for his mates standing 30 sec before the finish line and another one medal for a real hero who completed the race despite leg injury no matter how much it takes to finish it, he did finish it. Period.

[@shakh1407]

6:00 The guy who got tapped knew what was coming next! That was probably the best time to tap if you still want to walk, let alone train XD

[@lerroyking898]

El Cucuy it’s hard to think when you’re under extreme fatigue! Doesn’t matter who you are when under extreme fatigue your mind and body don’t work as effectively which is prone for mistakes and injuries

[@shakh1407]

@@lerroyking898 Very true, there are some perfect examples of that in this video. That being said, tired or not, a well trained grappler would recognise submissions early and realise its better to tap early in training than to tap late get injured and not train at all

[@reinforcer9000]

yea he shook his head like "nah don't want no part of that" no point in getting hurt

[@markay_]

Yeah the brazilian guy should have tapped. But the american dude also should have just let go of the submission IMO...i mean he already knew that he had the submission so why hold on to it?

Leg locks at a hard training session... Great gym but that's just madness.

[@methodtraining]

Robert Palmer agreed. Reckless!

[@xXxsparTaNGLORYxXx]

Madness...? THIS! IS! THAILAND!

[@galoobigboi]

Yeah,when he said all submissions are allowed I was like "is he serious??!!".Chokes,armbars and whatnot are one thing,but if you don't know where to turn when fighting off heel hooks,it can go south in a split fucking second and you can have a truly life altering injury becausz of it. That was mental,to say the least.When he said that,I knew somethin' like that was about happen.

[@thepyroguy624]

@@galoobigboi Yeah, like its not worth it to train like that, wtf, that should just be in competition.

[@galoobigboi]

@@thepyroguy624 Or between training partners that are very well versed in defending said manoeuvers. Inverted heel hooks are a bitch.If you're not turning in the right direction to defend,it applies even more torque on your knee.I've seen guys in my gym get their knees fucked up because of it.I find the training methods and coaches at tiger muay thai to be kind of dumb in certain areas.This kill of be killed attitude in training will only get you so far.

I’ve been training a karate/taekwando hybrid since I was 7 and have a few years of middle and high school wrestling but I just started doing submission grappling a year and a half ago on and off from injures (not training related) and I know I would get killed by these guys. I can go sub for sub with some of our blue belts and our smaller purple belts and I normally keep top position but the explosiveness and speed in this caliber of athlete makes me wanna really bite down and train way more seriously.
